The Huawei MediaPad M5 10 128GB is Huawei Test's 2020 tablet featuring a 10.8 inches, 338.2 cm2 (~76.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 960s (16 nm) chipset. It comes with a 7500 mAh battery. At AED 899 in the UAE and ₹20,450 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Huawei MediaPad M5 10 128GB excels with its 10.8-inch 2560x1600 IPS LCD panel, delivering sharp text and vivid colors for extended reading or video streaming, though it lacks a high refresh rate. Powered by the Kirin 960s, it handles multitasking and media playback smoothly, but lacks stylus support, limiting creative workflows. Its 7500 mAh battery lasts through full days of media consumption, but the 498g weight makes prolonged one-handed use tiring. Running Android 8.0 with EMUI 8, it misses Google Mobile Services in many regions, restricting app access. In UAE at AED 899, it’s value because the screen and battery outperform similarly priced rivals despite outdated software. In India at ₹20450, it’s overpriced—competitors offer newer chips, higher refresh rates, and Google support at comparable costs, making this tablet a niche pick only for those prioritizing screen size and endurance over modern features.
